I saw this on someone else's page and found it cool. So Here's my version.
1:
Motion City SoundtrackOriginally, I saw this music video, for then, I did not know was OK Go and searched all over Last.fm for what my mental image captured. It worked in my favor that I mistook them for OK Go because I really like Motion City Soundtrack
2:
MineralWhen I wanted to go back to the roots of emo because I found modern emo not "emotional" enough, I looked up different emo bands. I also found this cool little site called yoursceensucks.com and the "Prehistoric Emo" had a playlist. I looked into that list and Mineral stuck out and ever since they have been one of my favorite bands.
3:
ThursdayI guess when I was in the whole progression from pop punkesque music I fell upon Thursday. I don't really listen to Thursday anymore and I don't feel like losing plays by deleting it.
4:
Reggie and the Full EffectDuring my progression, I found Reggie and loved it. I still like Reggie, but I like when James is with The Get Up Kids better now.
5:
Sunny Day Real EstateI first heard In Circles and liked it. I didn't really get into SDRE until I got more into original emo, but In Circles did it for me.
6:
Cap'n JazzCap'n Jazz was on this 90's emo thing I found. I really liked it. Finding Cap'n Jazz sparked my interest in the other projects that branch from them.
7:
blink-182I guess I was in first grade when I first heard of them. I didn't really care about music back then. When I was in the pop-punkesque scene, the plays built.
8:
OwenMike Kinsella from Cap'n Jazz is this solo project. I really love the lyrics. I found it just searching Cap'n Jazz's similar music.
9:
Coheed and CambriaAt first, I really didn't like them. I guess it was either someone else liked them and it rubbed off on me or I played Rock Band too much when I started liking them...
10:
The Promise RingAnother band I found on that 90's emo thing. I really liked it.
11:
The Jazz JuneThis was part of the yoursceensucks playlist thing along with Mineral.
12:
The Get Up KidsWhen I liked a lot of pop punk, I always say bands saying The Get Up Kids were one of their main influences, so I decided to give them a listen and I liked it.
13:
GorillazQuite possibly the first artist/band I ever truly liked. I heard "Clint Eastwood" on some Now cd and I didn't stop listening to it. I bought the Gorillaz CD and liked them ever since that day. Gorillaz sparked my listening of music. Though my taste has changed many times, Gorillaz will always be there.
14:
Explosions in the SkyDuring my "emo revivalism" I wanted even more emotion from music. I didn't really understand what "post rock" was. Explosions was one of the first post rock bands I listened to. I really love it.
15:
Godspeed You! Black EmperorSame with Explosions in the Sky. I actually favor GY!BE over Explosions, it's just I've been on GY!BE down and an Explosions up.
16:
Death Cab for CutieAn ex-girlfriend introduced them to me. I really liked his voice.
17:
PiebaldAfter months of being top in my recommended artists by Last.fm, I decided to give them a listen and truly liked it.
18:
God Is an AstronautAlong with the other post rock bands, I just didn't really care for the more synth sound. I kinda stopped listening to them.
19:
MaritimeThis band came after The Promise Ring. I literally listened to this band because of their display picture on Last.fm. I also loved the sound.
20:
I Hate MyselfDuring my progression, I decided to give real screamo a try as well...since I was on the verge of (gasp) listening to crunkcore. This band was one of the first I listened to and liked the most.
21:
Minor ThreatBeing edge, I listened to a lot of Minor Threat. I like punk music and I like their sound along side being edge.
22:
Jimmy Eat WorldIf you want to go WAY back. I heard The Middle and didn't really know about them. They were featured on the 90's emo thing with Clarity and I really liked it. Then I found they did that song called The Middle and was like "Oh! That is them too?"
23:
The Mars VoltaMike used to listen to a lot of ATDI and The Mars Volta. I decided to give them a try too after a while.
24:
The New AmsterdamsI found this band along side of Reggie and the Full Effect. I decided to listen to them (or him) to see the other side of the break up of The Get Up Kids.
25:
Jeromes DreamAlso part of my progression and my listening to real screamo.
26:
Jeremy EnigkHe is the lead singer of Sunny Day Real Estate. I really love his voice so I decided to check his solo stuff.
27:
MaybeshewillThis was a rather late post rock band I picked up. I decided to give them a listen when I checked out my recommended artists.
28:
BraidAlso part of the 90's emo thing.
29:
Neil PerryAlso part of my listening to real screamo. All those bands I checked out at once.
30:
LifetimeAlso part of the 90's emo thing.
31:
+44When I was really into blink-182, I was also "pro-Mark" because he did a lot with Motion City Soundtrack. This was his side of the break up and I decided to listen to it.
32:
The Kodan ArmadaPartly because of me listening to real screamo, but mostly because of their artist picture on Last.fm.
33:
Forgive DurdenThis band was recommended to me by Last.fm, but I really liked their Razia's Shadow musical CD I listened to when I first heard of them.
34:
Jets to BrazilThis was another band Mike liked, but also featured on the 90's emo thing.
35:
At the Drive-InLike the Mars Volta, but with less scrobbles.
36:
OwlsThis is another branch of Cap'n Jazz. I really loved the sound of the familiar vocals and guitar.
37:
I Would Set Myself on Fire for YouPart of my real emo listening. Also, the name of the band was pretty cool.
38:
WeezerAt first, I hated Weezer because all I knew of them was that crappy song "Beverly Hills" . Then on Rock Band I heard "Say It Ain't So" and that was my gateway of listening to their better stuff.
39:
PortisheadA guy I used to work with was watching this live online concert thing of them playing. I heard "Machine Gun" and thought it was super awesome.
40:
Sigur RósAlso a late post rock band for me. I didn't know what I was missing.
41:
American FootballAlso part of the Cap'n Jazz branches. I really liked Mike Kinsella's voice in this one.
42:
Do Make Say Thinkpart of my second wave of post rock bands I listened to
43:
SaetiaAlso part of my real screamo bands I checked out.
44:
JawbreakerLike Jets to Brazil, Mike liked them and they were on the 90's emo thing
45:
The Fire TheftThis was a Sunny Day Real Estate sounding band...mostly because they had the same lead singer. I really liked SDRE so I gave them a try.
46:
FugaziWhen I wanted to learn about "Real Emo" I looked them up first with Rites of Spring.
47:
I Wrote Haikus About Cannibalism in Your YearbookI found this band by it's crazy name and happened to like them because of the "real screamo" aspect.
48:
Texas Is the ReasonOne of the bands featured on that 90's emo thing
49:
Simple PlanIn my pop punkesque days, Simple Plan was one of my favorites....
50:
Brand NewOne of Mike's bands he liked. I really liked it after a while too.
